C++ Developer - Project - Tic-Tac-Toe (Advanced)

The video tutorial guides students through implementing a tic-tac-toe game as a programming project. It begins with an introduction to the project, highlighting its complexity and the importance of planning. The instructor explains the rules of tic-tac-toe and provides a detailed walkthrough of the game's logic and design. The tutorial emphasizes modularization and the use of functions to manage complexity. Finally, the instructor demonstrates the game code, showing how it runs and handles user input. Students are encouraged to tackle the project independently, using the provided resources and guidance.

What is the primary goal of the Tic Tac Toe project for students?

• To learn advanced AI techniques

• To practice basic programming concepts

• To create a multiplayer online game

• To develop a mobile application

In Tic Tac Toe, what is a 'Cats game'?

• A game where both players win

• A game that ends in a tie

• A game where only X wins

• A game where only O wins

What is the purpose of modularization in the Tic Tac Toe project?

• To reduce the number of lines of code

• To divide the project into manageable parts

• To make the code run faster

• To make the game more challenging

Which function is responsible for checking if a cell is already occupied?

• cellAlreadyOccupied

• getUserInput

• printCurrentBoard

• initializeGame

What does the 'getWinner' function do in the Tic Tac Toe program?

• It gets input from the user

• It checks for a winner in the game

• It initializes the game board

• It prints the current state of the board

Why is it recommended not to use global variables for the 2D array?

• It is not supported in all programming languages

• It increases the complexity of the code

• It can lead to unintended data changes

• It makes the code run slower

What is the role of the 'runGame' function?

• To print the game rules

• To check for a winner

• To handle the main game loop

• To initialize the game board

How does the program determine if the board is full?

• By checking if all cells are occupied

• By counting the number of moves

• By comparing the number of X's and O's

• By checking the score of each player

What should a student do if they find the project too challenging?

• Skip the project entirely

• Review the material and try again later

• Ask someone else to complete it

• Focus only on the easy parts

What is the significance of the 'printCurrentBoard' function?

• It gets input from the user

• It displays the current state of the board

• It checks for a winner

• It initializes the game board
